Cons took the note handed over by Xiangwen, looked at it, and smiled and said, "Well, call Bikud."

Everyone was stunned. Although this Kud was a general, he did not show any particularly conspicuous performance in normal times. He was just doing unknown civil servants' work, so why did he suddenly summon him?

Could it be related to the content of the note?

However, no one dared to ask, anyway, you will know when the Kud arrives.

After a while, Bikud, who belonged to the civil servant system, was soon attracted by the inner guard.

Okor, who peeked at Bikud's salute, was stunned. He thought that this former governor-level figure who had not been reused would be very down. Unexpectedly, he was full of red and full of energy. What's going on? Could he have received a secret mission or was extremely open-minded?

After receiving the words of Cons, Bikud stood up and sat cross-legged. He was in a peaceful mood now because he was living a very happy life now.

In addition to the official duties assigned by Cons, he spent time on the development of Shiling Shigao. This was earned by his former subordinates in his name for him, and he did not thank him. Anyway, only a dozen stones are no big deal, and he also wanted to plant some crops himself.

I was very satisfied with the fruits I was about to harvest. I never thought that farming was so delicious. My original arrogant mood gradually became calmer with farming. Although I didn’t know whether this was good or bad, I just liked it.

Cons also saw the gentle expression on Bikud's face, and a feeling of envy surged in his heart, but the emotion soon disappeared. Cons asked with a smile: "Bikud, Celtic said he wanted to meet me. What do you think he wants to do?"

Bikud bent down slightly, then smiled calmly, "Lord, it is probably because our smuggling merchant ships abandoned Haiquan Province, which greatly reduced the profits of Haiquan Province. Celtic's master was unhappy and asked him to restore his relationship with the lord."

"Hehe, probably because the seventh prince couldn't stand the price of the goods sold by the Third Fleet was too expensive?" Xiang Wen said with a smile.

Everyone smiled when they heard this, and they all fantasized about what kind of poverty Haiquan San is.

After Celtic drove Cons away, Cons didn't care, but Weijie and others, especially Xiang Wen, could not let go of this hatred at all and immediately encouraged Cons to ban trade between merchant ships and Haiquan Province.

There are no specialties in Haiquan Province. It has some of its surrounding provinces. This will not cause any losses. Cons nodded and agreed.

It can be said that after Cons returned to Qingyue City, the Lei family merchant ship never visited Haiquan Province again.

Moreover, he received hinted by the important officials and the naval chief Kaihai, who was the default of Cons, attacked the coastal ports of Haiquan Province several times with large warships, almost destroying the ports of Haiquan Province, and the shipmakers were looted.

In addition to this, the Lei family naval army also forcibly banned merchant ships from other places from going to Haiquan Province, almost cutting off maritime trade in Haiquan Province.

Of course, the Lei family naval army suffered a lot of losses in the siege of Haiquan Province, but the gains were even greater. Not only did they trap Haiquan Province, but they also obtained a group of shipwrecks. The loss was not brought by Haiquan Province, but the Imperial Third Fleet that controlled this imperial sea.

That naval battle was the most intense battle ever encountered since the establishment of the Lei family naval army. The Lei family naval army destroyed fifty warships, while the Imperial Third Fleet lost twenty warships.

In the end, he relied on money to clear the way, and said that the Lei family's naval army would never invade the interests of the Third Fleet, but simply wanted to retaliate against Haiquan Province. The Imperial Third Fleet, who knew that it could monopolize the maritime trade in Haiquan Province, immediately retreated to the military port without saying a word.

"Well, if we agree to resume trade with Haiquan Province now, this third fleet should have an objection, right?"

Cons asked.

"I definitely have an objection! This is a way to cut off people's wealth! They will definitely teach us a lesson as soon as possible!" Fair said in a panic.

He was like this because the last naval battle caused a portion of the vault he managed to shrink, and he felt so distressed.

That time he cursed Kaihai for a full month. He scolded him for not having the best warships, even though he dared to run rashly to compete, and he was simply ignorant of his life or death.

"Actually, you don't need to pay too much attention to the Third Fleet. The Third Fleet is the weakest among the five major fleets of the Empire. It has only one hundred warships organized. Moreover, due to the fleet leader, they cannot get supplies for warships. Look at them, even the province that produces merchant ships, which cannot be stationed in Haiguang Province, you can know their status."

After nodding to everyone, Bikud said gently.

Cons nodded. He knew very well that the five major fleets of the Empire were not actually used for combat, but for defense.

The place where their fleet is stationed is Haiwu and Haiguang, two provinces that make sea ships, especially Haiwu Province, which have stationed three fleets.

It is no wonder that the Empire acted like this. Compared with naval warfare, the Imperial Navy could not compare with Wilter. Even armed merchant ships could be organized to destroy all the Imperial fleets. In order to preserve the seeds of maritime trade, they could only aggrieved the Imperial fleet to shrink in the port and resist jointly based on the port defense settings.

It’s true that after the implementation of this plan, the two provincial ports of the Empire have only had one successful occupation of the sneak attack by Werther in the past few years. However, under the courageous attack of ground troops, the port was quickly recovered, and after strengthening the defense, there was no incident of Werther invading again.

But no one knew that there had never been another invasion. Is it because Werte could not disturb the Empire fleet in the port and did not come out to see the wind and waves?

In any case, since then, the upper class of the empire has lost the intention to take the fleet out to fight.

Anyway, as long as the shipyard is protected, the endless sea ships can be continuously manufactured, and the wealth brought by a sea ship is very amazing.

You know, even in the era of the worst relationship, Wilter never attacked the Imperial merchant ship, and even the smuggling ship was not sunk, and at most he would be fined.

The war between the two sides is the battle, and the business will be done.

Since Wilt is so tactful, why bother provoking Wilt's naval army at the risk of being wiped out and endangering merchant ships? As long as you have money to make money, it's enough.

Originally, the third fleet was also stationed in Haiwu Province, but for some reason, when the third fleet leader took office, he was quickly excluded by his colleagues and was soon ordered to leave the port to inspect the imperial waters.

At the beginning, this excluded fleet was really responsible and responsible in carrying out orders, fighting pirates everywhere and inspecting Wilter merchant ships.

However, as we could not return to Haiwu, the two ports of Haiguang were resting, and there was no supply of warships and soldiers, which made the Third Fleet increasingly weaker and even fell into a state of no good ships and full of ships.

In the end, they didn't know if the Third Fleet suddenly figured out or what, so they began to boldly charge tolls for merchant ships on the sea without authorization, and even boldly included the other three provinces that could not manufacture sea ships into their own garrison.

At this point, the Third Fleet became the fleet with the widest range of garrisons but the poorest, the most diverse military components and the oldest warships. However, no matter what, the Third Fleet survived.

"Even so, this weak third fleet can defeat our navy with a 20-50 victory. So I think it's better not to get along with the third fleet. After all, there is nothing worth our special needs in Haiquan Province." Fer continued to protest, and he didn't want to spend more large amounts of money for no reason.

"Haha, Lord Fer is becoming more and more stingy."

Bikud joked, his expression and tone made people feel kind-hearted, so Ferr was not angry, but instead felt strange that the money was not his own, so why did he be so stingy?

Alas, it should be because my status has improved and is related to the amount of money in the vault. Otherwise, I would not be so petty and would not be so weird if I am not corrupt.

It seems that the lord is still powerful, and he becomes a slave to wealth in just one sentence.

"Actually, adults don't have to worry too much. The Third Fleet is composed of 100 warships. In the absence of supply for many years, only about 80 warships were warships, and the others were armed merchant ships. The last time they fought with our navy, they destroyed twenty warships, which means that the Third Fleet had only 60 warships.

"Although the warships of the Third Fleet are larger than those of our naval warships, the shipyard has learned experience since the last naval war and created new warships. Although there are not many, it is not very difficult for this navy to destroy the Third Fleet with the cooperation of our naval forces." Bikud smiled.

Before the others could react, Okor felt aroused.

"Warship? Warship? Navy? Navy?"

││Why do you use two different words to describe it?

And after hearing this, it turns out that this guy really has a secret mission, otherwise why would he, a dispensable civil servant, know so much?

"Destroy the Third Fleet? Okay, so my navy can invade the Imperial Sea! If you destroy the remaining four Imperial fleets, wouldn't the entire sea area be...uh..."

Feel, who was very excited, suddenly felt lost when he said this: "Oh, if you do this, it seems that Wilt's navy will attract."

Everyone knows that the Wilt navy is absolutely powerful, but most of them are guarding merchant ships sailing to the Far East, and they have been leaving for more than a year, which means they have not.

However, even so, no one dared to provoke the Wilt Navy.

"Lord, if I choose to fight the Third Fleet in order to resume trade with Haiquan Province, I think it would be really not worth the loss." Gong Zordon quickly persuaded Cons, saying that he was still on the Lei family's ship, so of course he had to consider the interests of the Lei family.

Cons waved his hand: "It is not for this reason to fight the Third Fleet, but because we need to determine the dominance of this sea area, because 70% of our finances come from maritime trade.

"And now that the empire is beginning to be in chaos, the previous trade restrictions have been eliminated, and it can be said that the profits of smuggling using the commodity restrictions of Wilter and Ultraman no longer exist.

"At the same time, the value of the smuggling transit place here has also disappeared. Haven't there been almost no merchant ships in Qingyue Port recently? They have entered the Imperial Port to trade directly."

Gong Zordon immediately apologized, "I understand, because there is a third fleet in this sea area besides us, so those Wirt's sea ships can ignore our ban. I am really ignorant, please forgive me."

He knew very well that if he lost the support of the sea trade, although the Lei family would not collapse, he would definitely not be able to support so many retainers and such a huge infrastructure. He would definitely degenerate into the days when he used peasant soldiers and bamboo guns to live on stone highs before.

"It's okay, Bikud, let you know the situation of our navy, you are responsible for this." Cons smiled.

"Yes, our navy is different from the navy. The reason why it is called a navy is mainly because the navy has the ability to sail long distances, while the navy can only move along the coast. At present, the Lei family navy only has twenty warships." Bikud said slowly.

These words made everyone frown. Twenty warships? What's the use of this? Kaihai's nearly 500 warships still cannot beat the Third Fleet. These twenty so-called warships can destroy the Third Fleet?

Okor seemed very calm on the surface, but his heart kept turbulent. This Bikud was trusted by Cons more than himself!

He is Cons' second brother! He is actually responsible for a secret mission that few people know!

It's really abominable. Has Cons not trusted himself completely?
